I don't know, but I just submitted about 20 made up ones, all with a temporary email address.
It would be a shame if other people did the same

What they do is to use your real IMEI in a Phone, probably a knock off of apple, htc, nokia and so go on. Fake mobile phones ; )

Any luck? if true it would be great. I don't know why though I think it is some sort of scam.

So?
So what's the big deal if they use your imei in some fake phone? Are there any ramifications for the owner of the imei

Other than the system will not let duplicate IMEI's work at the same time, so if someone clones your phone, you could end up with a non working phone ...
OR the worst case , it does let them on and they get your calls and vice versa ...
So legally I don't think it would hurt the original owner, but could end up hurting in other ways ....

May be they need personal emails, not imei nubers.
For fishing, hacking and ...... etc.

I got my free unlock straight from T-mobile themselves.

hi. could you please tell us, how one can do the same, without having an actual t-mobile number (without signing in to their site)?
Will appreciate.

Doesn't T-mobile have a web chat on their support page, and I think you can just get an unlock code that way, provided you've been a customer for a year or something like that.

I read they will actually request the unlock code from HTC. I did it 3 weeks ago and I got the unlock code in the next 24h so I believe it is reliable although not instant if you're a TMO customer. you might as well try to contact HTC if they have a customer service in your country.
My problem was then that my phone never asked for the unlock code so it happened to be useless. I don't know if it's because I have a custom rom on my phone or what but it never prompted me for the unlock code although I followed the steps they recommend (shut down, insert different sim, turn on...)

[Q] Can IMEI be changed?

I want to buy a new HD2.The seller says he has some hd2 produced in June and it can be inquired on htc website by imei.

I SERIOUSLY doubt it's been changed. Well the box should have it as well as if you remove the battery it should say it on the back of the phone, so the guy would have had to hard program it into the phone and also changed out inside the phone.
Don't worry about it.

Maybe I think too much
I'm from China. In China many 'refurbishers' specialize in these works.
I need to examine the whole phone and I wish I won't be unfortunate.

Check to make sure the IMEI on the back of the phone under the battery is the same one listed in settings > about.
Also if you got a box make sure that it is the same IMEI as on the phone.
If all three are the same it is very highly doubtful that it was changed.

I believe that since it's a demo unit you're not going to be able to use it. Except for wifi and bluetooth of course.
An IMEI is kinda important.
Out of curiosity... where did you get this?

Because if it was sold to you from someone then a reward might be available for the apprehension of the person that had stolen it and you would have valuable information.
Also, it is against forum rules to assist anyone in unlocking or tampering with an IMEI an any way especially for a stolen device. Since it appears to be that way, you're on your own. So good luck!

Certain stores sell these out if it's excessively supplied by Samsung. It's supplied by samsung on an entirely free no-agreement basis, since they are not expected to survive after the device reaches EOL (LED Burn-in, Customer Damages.. etc).
So the OP may not have necessarily stolen it, but may have obtained it in a clearance sale.
And of course, No. There is no reward involved as the device itself is designed without an IMEI so that the general public may not get to use it.

As all ready posted if it's a demo unit then basically all you have and will have is a wifi tablet. There is no IMEI number for the device and any attempt to use a different one is illegal. Really hope you weren't ripped off with it but as IMEI changing is illegal I will have to close the thread

Samsung My KNOX not working, but valid bit is 0x0

Hello all,
So I just got a brand new Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge phone and I'm loving it so far, except for one thing. When I try to open the Samsung My KNOX app it says:
imgur[dot]com/ljtI1Qo.png
I'm just confused because I haven't changed the OS at all. After a little research online I found people saying that this message is caused by people rooting their phones and installing custom OS's, which I haven't done. Here's proof:
imgur[dot]com/tBvzKPs.png
Why is My KNOX saying that and is there a way to fix it?
Thanks!

Two possibilities. Have you use a package disabler app to disable any system packages. Or have you changed the default pixel density? Both have been reported to cause problems with Knox.

I haven't done either. And I just did a Factory Data Reset and didn't restore from any backups and still no bueno. Any other ideas?
Thanks for the help.

Sorry, no more ideas.

Maybe I just got scammed and this is a refurbished model?
I really, honestly appreciate the help as I've been a big Apple fanboy for forever and just decided to switch to Android. Great experience so far.
Edit:
I bought the phone factory unlocked: ebay[dot]com/itm/262399542189
From my research online it seems as if the CSC code pertains to the country. Since this is an unlocked phone, maybe it doesn't have a CSC code because it's not linked to any country? Or is that crazy thinking?

Samsung KNOX Counter cool.

This isn't normal. Every Samsung device have a CSC Code. Speak with the eBay seller and get one replacement or money back.

I'm in the process of doing so. Thanks for the help! But just out of curiosity, why would someone completely remove a CSC code from the device and how would they do that without tripping the KNOX bit?

I'm wondering if someone tried to modify a Chinese market phone to work on AT&T, and is trying to unload his screwup onto someone else.

The box was unopened and the factory seal was un-broken. Maybe they just got a new box somehow? Is there a possibility that this is just a hardware problem?

Another thing you can do, will be to re install the firmware with odin, and I'm sure will work again, but you will have to install from scratch, unless you can backup your apps, etc
after having a look into the files you uploaded, it has a middle east pda xxu1apb6 and maybe is that the reason you maybe having some trouble, being in USA, you need to download one for the region you are in, sure someone in here should know which one will be the best for you. My self I have installed the XEU one, for the UK, and my phone had installed the ETL one, that was from Czech Republic, country I bought my phone from.
Installing the software again through Odin, will not trip knox at all, so try that.

So I just got off the phone with the eBay seller, and they said that the phone is brand new and that Samsung Pay isn't working because the phone is an unlocked international version[which the listing did say], and Samsung Pay isn't currently available on international phones. After some research on Google, it does look like Samsung Pay isn't currently compatible with international phones. This kind of makes sense to me, and I'm okay with it because the guy on the phone said that Samsung Pay should be rolled out for the international version soon.
Thanks for the help guys! Coming from the iOS landscape where this isn't a problem, the thought of it not working because it's an international phone didn't even phase me.

Have to say that I think you may have been sold a line there!
Knox and Samsung Pay are related, but not the same thing, and Knox does work on international phones.

That's a complete lie, I installed a USA version of the CSC on mine, ( international version)and there it was the Samsung pay app on it, I was checking versions on my phone, and flashing different countries to verify things work, and they do, pity I did not take a screen shot to prove it, but there it was.

So I learned that you can actually look up the devices IMEI number on http://www.imei.info/ to check the status, warranty, etc. The phone is legit and it's apparently still under warrenty from Samsung for another year.

Good point. Just curious, what could someone do with them?

Does anyone know this Galaxy s8 version？

I found a phone in my local second hand center.But it had a problem that screen had some letters.How can I remove them？I checked it on the internet,it told me that this phone was a engineering machine.I want to buy this phone as its low price.

I'd start first by finding the Language and Input section of Settings then change it to English if you can. Then, I'd go to About and see what exact model it is and then you could probably flash the stock Exynos firmware to get a full retail firmware.
